My HMMWV earned its keep today! I've had it as part of my backup plan for some emergency response type of stuff, and it was able to do that faithfully on the home front.
I keep one of the QP1800 inverters around for AC power wherever I may be. Tonight, the power went out at home, likely due to some high wind. Because of the rain we've had all day, my sump pump had been quite busy. But no power means no pump means a flooded basement, so I got to quick work rolling out some extension cords, firing up the HMMWV, and getting everything connected. Like the champ it is, it happily idled in place to keep my basement (and thus, my furnace and hot water heater) safe. It only had to work for about half an hour, as IPL jumped on the issue quickly and got the power back in under 45 minutes.
